I learned that if I put more effort into what I wrote in the process paper I will get a better grade, and if you do it honestly it will help somewhat more than writing it plain and boring, like I choose this topic because I thought it would be the easiest topic to do, like why did you think it was the easiest topic to do, did your prediction come out true or false? If false why? Honestly it's not that hard to openly express your feelings, your not being judged. I also learned that staying on topic is very hard but can be done. I enjoyed opening up to what I really felt was easy and hard and just everything. I found that if I just wrote my honest opinion I will stay on topic more and not go off on my life’s story like I usually do. I found it hard to focus because of my adhd but that’s no excuse. Next time I will revise my paper and see if it tells only what he/she needs to know and no extra unneeded information, unless it describes what I'm writing about. Something that helped me was to think if I was a teacher what grade would I give myself? Would it be a grade that I could be proud of? Or would it be a grade where I regret my words and wish I would have written more? I do that because it's to me like the saying 'Take a walk in someone elses shoes' how would I feel if I was the reader would I like what is written or would I be questioning the writers(me/I) effort and how much time they (me/I) put into it and why would they (me/I) get the grade chosen and would they (me/I) have a objectitive to why I should have got a better grade than what I recieved. Staying on task/topic is the hardest thing for me but after a while you learn to control it and I will work on that more next time. If I could do something different I would definitely follow the rubric and thoroughly explain things a little more even if I have to write 100 more words. It never hurts to write more than what is ask of you.

I learned how to enhance my artistic skills for PowerPoint’s because this was our third project and by now we had to be very skilled with everything we did. So I had to step up my game and take it to the next level by adding better photos and videos and making it more of an attention grabber. I found it very difficult to not go crazy with colors and make it too distracting. What helped me was to pause after each PowerPoint I made and see if I could focus on what I needed to focus on. Next time I think I would do even better if I ask the teacher or another student to revise my PowerPoint for spelling and grammar and to see if it’s too distracting. and ask what needs to be changed before I present it in front of people. I really enjoyed messing with the different color choices. I found myself getting distracted by a few of my slides so I changed it. What works for me is the put myself in the audience’s shoes thinking about friends being in the class, right before lunch, warm, and even some tired. Would I actually want to pay attention to a PowerPoint like mine? What would (I) a student really get into it? Or would I zone off while the presenter reads on? I do this because I know as a fellow student some peoples projects really bore me and I zone off into my own world. I usually focus better when I see a video or pictures or even Bright (look at me) colors. Because Its likes wow thats amazing!

Well, this isn’t a normal document it is a song but I learned how to work with a partner to be able to agree on one thing not argue with each other. I found it difficult not to be like no we are doing the song I like not the songs you like. It was hard for me to respect her opinion also. but I have learned in the years that agrueing doesn’t get you anywhere but fighting so I asked how about this song "waiting outside the lines" and she liked it to because it relates to true things in our life. If I could do something differently I would have agreed on a song she liked first. I enjoyed working with my partner and really learning what types of songs she likes and how different and similar it is to the type I listen to. I found it easiest to keep trying until we agreed on a song that we feel really connected with our thoughts. The next step would be for us to correspond why we thought this song described who we are and how it connects to us and what the lyrics are meant to mean
